    monosulfur hexafluoride

    Explanation:

    In the given covalent compound, SF₆, there is one sulfur atom and six fluorine atoms.

    The cationic part is sulfur (less electro-negative) and anionic part is fluorine (more electro-negative).

    So the more electro-negative fluorine will be named as fluoride and the name of sulfur will be the same : sulfur:

    as there are six fluorine so the prefix " hexa"

    Hence name will be monosulfur hexafluoride
